“I see …” said Tina, still a little confused. It hadn’t exactly answered her question.
Lottie smiled at her, “Look to yourself, right?” she said, recalling one of their earlier conversations.
Tina nodded slowly, “For sure … but there’s standing on your own two feet and then there’s isolating yourself completely …” she paused, if this were a conversation with a patient she would ask the following question now, “Do your family know you’re here?”
“Yeah,” Lottie sighed, “I called my dad on Sunday.”
“What about your mother?” asked Tina cautiously, aware that what people don’t volunteer they are often attempting to hide.
“She’s dead,” said Lottie, her voice choked, “she died when I was seven.”
“Oh …” replied Tina, as she lay one hand gently on her shoulder, “I’m sorry.”
As Tina opened the door to her home, balancing the shopping bags and briefcase on her knee as she used her elbow to push the door wider, she could just about hear the phone ringing over the piercing sound of Hilary Duff. She rolled her eyes, Angelica had the worst taste in music, a thing she enjoyed blaming Bette for then … remembering the phone she dropped the bags by the door and ran.
“Didn’t you hear the phone?” she yelled, walking back towards the living room laughing as two flushed and surprised looking faces turned to greet her.
“Sorry,” said Lottie, reaching for the volume on the stereo, “we didn’t hear you come in.”
Tina grinned as Angie ran to greet her, flinging herself on her mother and showering her with kisses,
“Hey baby, did you have a good day?” Tina asked.
Angelica nodded, still catching her breath, “Oh Mom rang … she said to call her back, and there’s a package for you … we put it on Mom’s desk.”
“I signed for it, I hope you don’t mind?” added Lottie, as Tina shook her head to indicate she didn’t.
“Angie can you grab the bags?” she asked, as she wandered off towards Bette’s office.
Angie and Lottie brought the bags into the kitchen from beside the front door and then, both intrigued by the delivery, followed Tina down the hall to see what it was.

Yeh great story I also think that she is Bette’s half sister
Whoa…u wrote so well…but I don’t get the telephone fight, meaning I saw NO REASON for either to get mad BUT as it lead to a make-up phone convo okay!!!! Loving the suspense but not forever, huh???? Are u gonna leave it for Bette to get home and see Lotte for the big reveal…hope Bette comes home early to surprise Tina, of course!!!!
oh yeah, I’d prefer for her to be Bette’s half-sister; same mom, different dad’s…
You’re wonderful – posting all those chapters in a row!! Thank You. Love it ! Love it ! Love it ! But what the heck is “stropping”? Or am I just so far removed? Please continue. _Soon_
Is it Monday yet? I can’t wait for Bette and Tina to get together for family time without kids. Also I wonder if Bette will see something in Lottie that will get her mind to wondering.
Sofasitter you have spun a web that is very mysterious. So Bette isn’t Lottie’s mother unless Lottie lied to Tina about her mother dying when she was 7…shoot she is lying about her reason for being in LA so why wouldn’t she lie about that? If Tina and Bette would have been talking about anything else they would have had an argument also because Angelica said that’s what they do…it’s part of the process. I hope Bette comes home early…in time for the BBQ. I love this story and I hope you post again soon and end all of our guessing.
Good chapter!
God, I love this B&T! I think you’re giving us an awesome relationship here!… Okay, I know monday is not too far away, but I can’t help but hope for a suprise early return… A girl can dream, right? Thanks!
story is great!please,please,Bette needs come back soon and Lottie tell her secret!! I like big chapters.
You are really making me more crazy than I already am because of trying to figure out about Lottie. Hope you let us know about that mystery soon. I know when you read these comments you are probably laughing, because as you can see I am not the only one going crazy here. LOL Thanks and please don’t keep is on the edge of our seats too much longer.
So is this Bette’s sister and its Bette’s mom that died recently? Answers, I want answers!!!!!
Who the hell is she and what is she to Bette?
I’m betting she’s Bette’s half-sister…Because of the “white mother” comment and “no mention of Kit”…But we’ll see…
Yeah, I’d get touchy if Bette was away and I were Tina. But glad they had such a nice make-up conversation. :) Lottie’s getting cozy with the teacher!!
